Stargate Universe : Ming-Na weighs into the Star Wars v Star Trek debate

Stargate Universe and ER star Ming-Na is a geek - it's official.
But which does she prefer: Star Trek or Star Wars?
"I appreciate both," she tells Jenna Busch at her geek blog.
"I think Star Wars is more science fantasy and is based on a lot of great legendary heroes and morality plays and stuff.
"Star Trek is just pure fun. Pure science fun. And I've always appreciated both.
"I've always enjoyed watching silly sci-fi series like Buck Rogers and, you know, just devour Alien.
"Just anything that's fantastical, to me, is such a great use of the imagination and takes me to places that are not pure everyday life on Earth."
Surprisingly, the one show she never got into was ... Stargate.
"No, I really wasn't!" says Ming-Na, who plays lesbian HR lady Camille in SGU.
"I think at the point when the series had started, I was so much focused on my career and working and then the kids came along.
"It's kind of been great because, now that I'm in the show, I'm being reintroduced to one of my great loves, which is science fiction.
"And I'm meeting all these great sci-fi fans, either on Twitter or at conventions ... I love it! I feel like I've kind of come around full circle and I'm back to my high school days."
